Their very public fight is so childish, especially Adele's side of it. That's such a teenage thing to do, pretend the time together wasn't good just because you're heartbroken. And Jacob being around and cowering his eyes and sort of understanding her in the end XD

Adele's acting exactly like a bitter little teenager, probably because when she was a teenager she was never in a relationship and she never got the chance to get it out of her system. XD

Adele is very conflicted right now, and she's not happy about that at all, is she? Though Jacob being around turned what would have been a really awkward and embarrassing situation into hilarity. Nice!

Jacob turns everything he touches into hilarity. Well, aside from his own personal relationships, I guess. XD My characters are hopelessly dysfunctional. Thanks!

Poor Capt Jacob having to listen to that argument.

Certainly things nobody needs to hear!

Oh, Jacob, you didn't really want to be in the middle of that, did you? Having such a public fight doesn't seem like Adele, but I guess Isaac just has that kind of effect on her!

Haha, Isaac turns her into this weird bitter-ex-teenage-girl-bunny-boiler-thing for a while. She can't resist her awful jibes. XD

Adele has perfected the art of self-sabotage. Everything she wants, she does everything in the world to prevent herself from getting, mostly because of her being such an emotionally dysfunctional twit. XD

She's reduced from her usual slick, uber-professional self into basically a whining, bitter, tantrum-throwing child by Isaac and I love writing it. Even though I end up feeling a little sorry for her...
